It was a classic sound bite during the debates but apparently just a sound bark with no bite.

President-elect Donald Trump reportedly will not pursue criminal charges against the defeated Hillary Clinton after he takes office.

“I think when the president-elect who’s also the head of your party now … tells you before he’s even inaugurated he doesn’t wish to pursue these charges, it sends a very strong message, tone and content to the members,” Trump transition official Kellyanne Conway said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“And I think Hillary Clinton still has to face the fact that a majority of Americans don’t find her to be honest or trustworthy, but if Donald Trump can help her heal, then perhaps that’s a good thing,” Ms. Conway said.

“Look, I think he’s thinking of many different things as he prepares to become the president of the United States, and things that sound like the campaign aren’t among them,” she said.

So Hillary dodges prison yet again. One wonders if Hillary would have been so magnanimous about her political enemies if he had prevailed. Most likely, they would all be facing prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.

Congress is famous for not getting anything done. I firmly believe she is not above the law and justice and the law should be pursued. The present justice department is simply a joke as it has been for years. Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch care little about justice. I don’t know if she did anything wrong, but I damn sure suspect it and would be greatly eased by a special prosecutor who is not involved in the political game.
